CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nimsoft,
a CA Technologies company, today announced that international
managed service provider (MSP) Virtual Ark has deployed Nimsoft On
Demand as an integrated component of the Virtual Ark Platform.
Nimsoft On Demand enables Virtual Ark to deliver highly scalable
application managed services to large enterprise customers as part
of its next-generation Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings,
which give clients on-demand access to their traditional on-premise
core business applications in the cloud.
Companies are increasingly looking to SaaS for pay-per-use
pricing, high availability, reduced capital and operating expense,
and other benefits. Virtual Ark enables ISVs to rapidly enter
this SaaS market by converting and managing traditional
applications to work in public or private clouds, without
significant re-engineering or the need for multi-tenant application
redevelopment, and without the upfront investment and financial
commitments typically faced by ISVs.
With Nimsoft On Demand as a core component of its platform,
Virtual Ark can provide clients with competitively differentiated
real-time monitoring of SaaS resources. User-friendly dashboards
offer at-a-glance information about the availability and
performance of critical applications and services. Its
comprehensive reporting tools also provide IT staff with deep
insight into applications and services hosted in the cloud.
Nimsoft On Demand significantly reduces the need for Virtual Ark
to procure, implement and manage monitoring technology every time
it adds more infrastructure or a new application. This helps lower
Virtual Ark's costs while enhancing its business agility. The
solution's "pay as you go" pricing also allows Virtual Ark to
cost-efficiently grow its business and immediately respond to
changing client needs.
In addition, Virtual Ark expects to gain significant long-term
ROI by using Nimsoft to focus on core competencies rather than on
managing complex monitoring systems.
"With Nimsoft On Demand, Virtual Ark can cost-effectively give
end-users full visibility into their applications and assure our
ISV partners that their service levels will meet or exceed market
requirements," said Marty Gauvin,
CEO and president of Virtual Ark. "Nimsoft continues to be an
innovator in monitoring services. With Nimsoft On Demand we
can focus on what we do best: bringing applications and services of
proven business value to companies looking for a smarter way to do
IT."
Prior to selecting Nimsoft, Virtual Ark reviewed numerous
monitoring solutions. Some were not scalable enough, while others
were too complex and time-consuming to implement. Nimsoft On Demand
was chosen for its unified monitoring capabilities, its ability to
integrate with multiple cloud infrastructures, and its proven
on-demand delivery model.
Nimsoft On Demand is compatible with a wide range of public
cloud environments, such as Amazon Web Services™, Rackspace Cloud™,
Microsoft Windows Azure™, and Google App™ Engine.
"On demand monitoring is a key enabler of SaaS and powerfully
enhances its core value proposition," said Gary Read, CEO of
Nimsoft. "Virtual Ark's choice of Nimsoft as its strategic
monitoring solution, confirms that our approach to SaaS enablement
is superior to the competition and that it offers differentiated
value to today's top MSPs."
